Before his death in 1609, the brilliant Elizabethan spy and astrologer John Dee hid his most astonishing secrets, trusting his descendants would one day bring them to light. That time has come.


In 2003, Will Stafford inherits a strange legacy from his mother: a key and an ancient script with an enigmatic note. Intrigued, he travels Europe seeking answers to Dee’s riddles, unaware that someone is following every move. Back in London, Lucy King becomes entangled in Will’s cryptic labyrinth. As its mysterious twists take her from France to New York, and from literature to myth, in search of its hidden treasure, she has never been closer to the truth, nor in graver danger.

hmmmmm....came on the back of reading several other religious/conspiracy stories, so was a bit fed up by this point. There was also little tension in the book, and some of the dialogue in particular made this feel like a first novel in the "let's get a load of detail out in a paragraph spoken by someone to someone else who really should know all this crap, cos I cant work the description in any better" way.

On the whole the story is ok, but not really gripping.....

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Probably in the bookshelves in the main hall
